What we do on a bench making course.

Last week I taught a six day work bench making course. This is one of my most demanding courses, both mentally and physically, for both my students and me! It’s demanding physically because we are working with big bits of wood and big joints and mentally because the work, although using large section timber, requires accuracy and attention to detail. I hope that those who come on the course not only leave with a very good work bench but also learn lots of new techniques in the making. Students on the course also build a good esprit de corps so I hope they also leave with new friends. Here’s a little photographic record of last weeks course.
